I asked several of my coworkers who they think is the world's largest manufacturer of rubber tires. The responses were what you would have expected – Goodyear, Firestone, Bridgestone, Michelin, etc. Yet all of these manufacturers pale in comparison to the top rubber tire producer by volume: The Lego Group.

Lego produces 306 million rubber tires per year[1]. The Danish company has been producing toys — and lots of rubber tires — since 1932. Chances are good that you and the children in your life have owned and played with those tires.

Granted the Lego tires are small but they are rubber tires.
